Haunted by the memory of Walter Holderlin, a soldier he killed during World War I, French musician Paul Renard (Phillips Holmes) confesses to a priest (Frank Sheridan), who grants him absolution. Using the address on a letter he found on the dead man's body, Paul then travels to Germany to find his family.
As anti-French sentiment continues to permeate Germany, Dr. Holderlin (Lionel Barrymore) initially refuses to welcome Paul into his home, but changes his mind when his son's fiancée Elsa identifies him as the man who has been leaving flowers on Walter's grave. Rather than reveal the real connection between them, Paul tells the Holderlin family he was a friend of their son, who attended the same musical conservatory he did.
Although the hostile townspeople and local gossips disapprove, the Holderlins befriend Paul, who finds himself falling in love with Elsa (Nancy Carroll). When she shows Paul her former fiancé's bedroom, he becomes distraught and tells her the truth. She convinces him not to confess to Walter's parents, who have embraced him as their second son, and Paul agrees to forego easing his conscience and stays with his adopted family. Dr. Holderlin presents Walter's violin to Paul, who plays it while Elsa accompanies him on the piano.
The film's original title, The Man I Killed, was changed to The Fifth Commandment to avoid giving "wrong impressions in the minds of the public about the character of the story." It ultimately was released as Broken Lullaby.
this is fun! few movies not winking at the audience.
很舒服。叙事的节奏，日常的活动慢节奏一幕幕地过，不是在交代什么，呈现一种状态，然后出来一种节奏，这种节奏是导演想给出的东西。导演也喜欢节奏一下来个突变，他不要起伏，一层层铺上去再滑下来，那种，婉转的东西，他就是突然来一下，开一枪，然后立马回到原来的慢节奏，这很有意思。
额剧情真的无厘头 但是为了Acapulco打个五星吧 SH home
硬汉还是不错的，没搞清最后巴特勒中枪为啥没死，是穿了防弹衣吗。两大男主被干死的镜头都没有，看来两人咖位差不多。
真的就验证了那句话，不懂文学还在泡妞，真正懂文学的都已经在犯罪了。为女主的结局感到遗憾。

912｜2.5，这不就是《故事会》嘛，完全放弃人物情感之后拍出来的东西，倒也不至于难看，但也没有什么记忆点。老老实实拍故事倒没什么，可导演偏偏又喜欢掺杂一些奇奇怪怪的意象，与此同时故意地把故事讲不清楚，最终结果就是谜语人。这点连《故事会》都不如。
用镜头掩盖尴尬的对话，照太阳让观众提神，加上这迷的结尾，不知道要表达什么
前期的悬疑和多线配上这个结局就变成了故弄玄虚。
有点旧西部片的影子，拘留所里来了几个狠家子，Sheriff 们很忙碌，谁是最后站立者的游戏。。。在充实和单薄之间徘徊的小制作，可能没发挥全。我犹豫一下不给四星。
联想电影，2005血溅13号警署，2002法国片猎豹行动。
感觉男主是和自己一个模子印出来的一样~本人丧时就是这样~并不需要绝症~
平淡又匆忙，整片的氛围看到结尾也没有在期待着什么，合了导演的意。
1、太平铺直叙了，开头把圣经还给Luis的时候直接告诉你主题，记忆和现实穿插，结构平庸，没有推理案子的快感
逃避也许能让自己爽几天，但是改变不了命运。
看着挺牛逼的，但其实看完就觉得没必要。不是不喜欢这部电影，是不喜欢这种高配版的东野圭吾式的小心眼子
挺不错一部片子，被骗子给骗了，原来电影里说的，都是真的……
这算是阿根廷版的电影版天道吧。。哈哈哈。。这都是命。。哈哈哈。。
有部分尚可的动作，节奏，画面质感，镜头语言等，前半部分铺垫稍长，且对后半部分的塑造作用有限，总体归于尚可一看。
与其说是天怒，不如说是人怨，男作者xsr，女主告他怎么了？老婆孩子死了，是女主的错吗？是明知道老婆抑郁还出轨的烂男的错！他有个屁脸去报复女主，结局女主为了保全妹妹死了，结果作家葬礼上泡妹妹，sjb啊。
